PCSK9-Gen

Das PCSK9-Gen kodiert ein Protein, welches für die Regulation der LDL-Rezeptoraktivität mitverantwortlich ist. Mutationen verursachen eine autosomal dominante Form der familiären Hypercholesterinämie.

Genstruktur

Das Protein, welches durch das PCSK9-Gen kodiert wird spielt eine wichtige Rolle bei der Regulation des LDL-Rezeptors auf der Oberfläche von Hepatozyten. Mutationen führen zur autosomal dominanten Hypercholesterinämie vom Typ 3.
